Yayoi Kusama
Narcissus garden (detail) 1966/2002
Site-specific work (this one is at the QAG in Australia)The Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, born in 1929, has spent the last 20 years commuting between her large studio in the Tokyo suburbs and the psychiatric hospital that she chooses to call home.
in 1966, when, with the help of the Milanese artist Lucio Fontana, she presented “Narcissus Garden,” a rogue installation of 1,500 reflective metal balls. (At the time, Kusama, dressed in a kimono, hawked the balls herself for $2 a piece on the lawn in front of the Padiglione Italia in the Venice Biennale Giardini.) Another version of the same work is now in Milan and it still leaves you breathless, letting you see your image reflected endlessly on the spherical surfaces. The effect was even more dramatic at night, when the images were reflected not just on the balls but on the glass wall facing the garden behind them.
